I'm not afraid of death, but I would never want to die if possible.

I don't see death as a "transition" though. I see it as death. But I think the afterlife will be a lot like the before life. I won't be conscious matter anymore, but I'll still be matter. And I'm sure nobody minds not existing once they don't exist anymore...so no one has to suffer.

That's why I don't fear death, but wish it wouldn't happen to me.
